I thought it was an amazing cigar, but the regular Tempus has always been one of my favorites. Super smooth and mellow, but without being mild at all. Its listed as full bodied, but it hit me much more in the medium area, definitely full-flavored though.
I got one of the maduros in a sampler a few weeks ago. I believe I gave it two days to acclimate to my humi before smoking it, and it was an awesome smoke.
I have smoked the Alec Bradley Tempus torpedo. I enclosed my tasting notes. I hope it helps.
Silky smooth wrapper of a dark reddish brown hue balance and packed firmly smells of black tea leaves and sweetness at the foot almost a fruitiness. The draw is firm with wrapper and foot smells translates with the same fruity tea sweetness
Red pepper spice dominates in the nose with a malted sweetiness
1 third
leather
a mouth watering smoothness
perfect draw and burn
cherry with a floral notes
ash has a reddish tint to it
a toasted note on the finish
very cool burn with no loose smoke from the foot getting a mouthful when drawn upon.
2nd third
a chicory note and cinnamon citrus notes of a chocolate orange with a licorice finish
final
this cigar is a right out the box good no need to age further. this cigar remained the same strength smoothness and from the second third thru the final. This is the flavor you want to experience thru the whole stick and this cigar delivers this cigar is in my top 5
